What brain disease is incurable?
Several neurodegenerative diseases are caused due to damaged tissues and nerves in the brain. In addition, some incurable diseases involve demyelinating diseases, myopathy, some neuropathies, and other brain disorders such as Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia.

However, treatment of these neurodegenerative diseases involves reducing anxiety and mood changes through medications and physical therapies to maintain a decent quality of life.

What are some types of brain and spine surgeries?

Some of the common brain and spine surgeries include the following operations:

Biopsy
Biopsies are performed to diagnose brain diseases by placing a small incision in the skull to extract a part of brain tissue or tumors.

Craniotomy
Craniotomy involves removing a portion of the skull to allow doctors to treat and remove a brain tumor, irregular tissues, blood clots, repair a brain aneurysm or skull fractures, drain fluids from an infection, treat accidental injuries, and stokes or treat any other brain disorders. After the operation, the fragment of the skull is secured back in place with sutures or wires.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Deep brain stimulation is used to identify and treat various brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. In this surgery, an electrode in place into the deep part of your brain transmits electrical signals.

Minimally Invasive Neuroendoscopy
The neurosurgeon in this surgery makes small holes to extract brain tissues through an endoscope. This procedure is minimally invasive and is primarily used to treat brain tumors.

Thrombectomy and cerebral aneurysm repair
This surgery involves contrasting dye usage to locate the problematic blood vessel without opening up the skull. The neurosurgeon directs surgical instruments through a large blood vessel to access brain vessels to treat blood clots, cerebral aneurysms, or a ruptured aneurysm.
